The Stars Above Us

by Samantha Brentmoor Maggie Gates

4.5

Hotshot journalist Becks is on a mission to uncover the truth behind a mysterious tragedy, a quest that drops her directly into the chaos of the Afghan desert. Embedded with Company B at Forward Operating Base Blessing, she finds herself clashing with Captain Nathan Griffith. Griff is a man looking for a quiet, uneventful deployment to heal his own past wounds, and the arrival of an ambitious, sassy reporter is the last thing he wants to deal with. What starts as a tense, friction-filled standoff quickly turns into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. As Becks and Griff trade barbs and navigate the dangers of a war zone, their mutual annoyance begins to thaw into a deep, undeniable connection. This classic "grumpy vs. sunshine" romance balances intense military realism with lighthearted pranks and sizzling chemistry, forcing both characters to choose between their professional duties and the burgeoning desire they can no longer ignore. As the unthinkable strikes, the two must rely on each other to survive, leading to a journey of healing and hope. Will Becks find the answers she came for, or will she discover that her true path lies with the captain who never expected to fall in love in the middle of hell?

Image 93: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars ..bring tissues.A must read military romance Can I give it more then 5 starts? 🄺🄰 She really knows how to play with people's emotions Red-headed sassy mouthed Becks is a reporter who is filming her own documentary about soldiers and deployment while in Afghanistan. Captain Nathan Griffith is a sexy army captain who is in charge and wasn't thrilled with Becks at first. Dealing with his own personal demons from his past Captain Grumpy Pants doesn't always mean what he says. "It’s like watching two kids on the playground. And the little boy pulls the little girl’s pigtails ā€˜cause he’s got a crush on her.ā€ They said just sex...but is it ever just that? Could it be just that? This Steamy military romance was everything I could ask for. You need to make sure you have a tissues close. Wine,Chocolate. And tissues..yep thats what you need. Tear jerker full of emotion a day spice. I love Maggie's writing. It puts you right there the whole time. ā™”Charlie Coleman foreverā™” More)Hide) * !Image 95: Customer Image Thank you for your feedback Close Sorry, there was an error Close Sorry we couldn't load the review Try again Filtering customer reviews Loading customer reviews There was a problem filtering reviews.

5 4.5 out of 5 stars](javascript:void(0))(2,397) Sorry, there was a problem loading this page. Try again. See all formats and editions What happened to Troy Davis? That's what Becks is determined to figure out. When life takes an unexpected turn and plops her in the middle of the Afghan desert, the hotshot journalist finds herself surrounded by bullets, grenades, and a grumpy Army captain with a chip the size of Texas on his very broad shoulders. The captain is determined to get under her skin just as much as she gets under his. All Captain Nathan Griffith wanted was to shake off the hell he'd faced over the last few years during a quiet deployment in the middle of nowhere. Lucky for him and the rest of the boys of Company B, Forward Operating Base Blessing fit the bill. When word comes down that a war correspondent is going to be embedded with them during their deployment, SHE is the last person he thought would ever show up. After the unthinkable happens, Becks and Griff are torn between duty and desire. He never expected to find his fresh start in the middle of hell, but what will happen when Becks finally gets the answers she's been looking for? The Stars Above Us includes a sassy redhead, a grumpy Army captain, pranks, shenanigans, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Contains mature themes. ) Ā©2022 Maggie C.
